After entering the house, Yu Mingzhi and Qin Ji saluted Guo Chang and Mrs. Guo, and then saw the relatives present and distributed gifts, and exchanged a few words of casual greeting. Qin Ji was ready to wait for the opening table to toast, and then left with Yu Mingzhi.

Qiuxue, the maid beside Old Madam Guo, lowered her head and walked to Yu Mingzhi's side, and said softly, "Old Madam wants to say a few words to the eldest lady." ”

Yu Mingzhi noticed Guo Chang out of the corner of his eye, and there was a bit of helplessness and pleading in his eyes.

"Okay." She turned her head to Qin Ji again and said, "I'll come over after a few thoughtful words with the old lady, and you can have a drink with your relatives first." ”

Qin Ji knew that she could handle it well, so he nodded, planning to go back after drinking with the Guo family's relatives as soon as possible. As soon as his wife left, the smile on his face faded a lot, and even the eyebrows and eyes were sharp, which made the enthusiastic Guo family relatives instantly timid, and they didn't dare to coax the Qin She people to drink more, and the meaning passed.

Yu Mingzhi passed by the flower hall where the ladies were eating, and heard the two daughters-in-law of Guo Chang's cousin's family laughing.

"Look at what I said, Guo Baozhi and Qin Sheren look so affectionate, where is the fake? After all, it was a marriage that took a lot of effort to prepare, if there was no emotion in it, why bother so much. ”

The other snorted coldly, "Qin She people get married, no matter how you do it, you have to do the scenery, otherwise it won't be a joke?" If it weren't for the marriage contract, with a businessman like our Guo family, how could it be possible to climb to the Qin Sheren? Besides, if you marry a woman from an official family, won't you be restrained by your father-in-law's family in the future, it is better to accept the marriage contract first and wait for a few years to develop. Maybe you can get the emperor's marriage, and marry a clan woman to be more glorious. ”

"Look at what you said, Baozhi is the daughter of our Guo family, can't you count on it? Uncle Cousin's house is fine, we can also get naked. ”

"Hmph, I'm telling the truth."

"Jealousy is terrible."

"You!"

The two saw that they were about to quarrel, and an older voice whispered: "Do you want to be embarrassed? Your sister-in-law is right, there is no such thing as you, I hope for something. ”

The two daughters-in-law immediately shut up.

Yu Mingzhi listened in his left ear and went out through his right ear. Scattered with the wind.

Mrs. Guo was sitting in the hut next to the flower hall at this time. The mother next to her was beating her shoulder, and she opened her eyes slightly when she heard the sound of the door opening.

Mother poured Yu Mingzhi a cup of tea, took Qiuxue, closed the door and went out.

Old Madam Guo's eyes became kinder. said to Yu Mingzhi: "Come and sit here." She patted the armrest of the lap chair next to her.

Yu Mingzhi walked over. But halfway through, he paused. Sitting down on the circle chair at the bottom left of her, Wen Sheng asked, "Does the old lady have anything to say to me?" ”

Old Madam Guo sighed and said, "Your mother's body is getting worse and worse. The doctor has come to see it a few times, and the imperial doctor invited by the Qin Sheren has also come to see it, and they all said......" She looked at Yu Mingzhi meaningfully, "I'm afraid it's only been a month or two." ”

Think about Yao's original housewife who held the power of the family, but she fell into such a situation overnight, even her daughter was sent to the Taoist temple as a scourge in the family, and her son was young and bewitched by a few sluts, and he didn't think about his mother at all, so he was lonely in the north yard for a long time, and it was inevitable that he would become depressed and sick.

Last time, she designed to make Guo Baozhi make a fool of herself, but before the thing was done, she couldn't help but reveal it to Yao. Who knew that Guo Baozhi solved it silently, and when Yao knew the news, he immediately spit out a mouthful of blood, and his condition was even more critical.

She never thought that her healthy eldest daughter-in-law would become like this.

Not only that, but there was something more worrying about her about to happen......

Yu Mingzhi's face did not change, "I asked Qin Sheren to look for any powerful doctors again." ”

Old Madam Guo nodded with a little satisfaction, "There is one more thing, you have to persuade your father." ”

"What's wrong?"

"Your mother is still alive, your father...... He's starting to think about the continuation! At the mention of this, Mrs. Guo was so angry that she panted loudly, if she wasn't afraid of disturbing the people in the next room, she would have slapped her on the table a long time ago.

Yu Mingzhi hesitated: "This ......"

Old Madam Guo suddenly got up, walked up to Yu Mingzhi, and took her hand warmly.

She rarely showed enthusiasm for this eldest granddaughter, and she must have been flattered and moved to put on such a look, right? In the end, they are all surnamed Guo, how can they not care about her grandmother?

Yu Mingzhi didn't speak, and looked at Mrs. Guo quietly.

Only then did he show his love for his eldest granddaughter. Is it too late? What's more, she is not the real Guo Baozhi, how can she feel that false "family affection"?

Old Madam Guo looked at her attitude, was slightly stunned, and then asked, "How are the people of Qin She treating you?" ”

"Okay." Yu Mingzhi nodded.

Old Madam Guo smiled: "Then we can rest assured, after all, the people of Qin She are known for their prestige, and they are a little scared." ”

"Don't worry, old lady." Yu Mingzhi said.

Mrs. Guo said, "Okay, good." Since you don't have anything to worry about, why don't you help your mother? She is still alive and well, but as the housewife of the Guo family, she suffers such a big sin, you are not reluctant, right? How can your father be so ruthless, the person is still fine, just do such a slap in the face, and tell her how to live? ”

Yu Mingzhi still listened quietly.

Old Madam Guo pursed her lips and continued: "So you go and persuade your father, right? ”

Yu Mingzhi hesitated: "Although I haven't been at home for a long time, I still love my father and mother, so I won't do this......"

Old Madam Guo threw away Yu Mingzhi's hand and snorted coldly: "How could it not? I saw it all! The other party is the young lady of the Langzhong family of the Ministry of Rites, and she married for the first time after the annuity was thirty. It is said that it was because the fiancé who was previously married died of a sudden illness, and it was rumored that this young lady was the life of the Kefuke family, and only your father wanted to marry home as a baby, so why not?! There is a gentle and virtuous wife at home, who is not well healed, so I want to marry an old girl from Kefu to do the chord? ”

Since he wants to marry a young lady from an official family. Qin Ji must also know something about this matter, so it is even more impossible for Yu Mingzhi to stop it, because there must be some important reason for it.

Seeing that Yu Mingzhi didn't speak for a long time, Mrs. Guo became even more anxious, and urged: "You have a few words?!" ”

As soon as she opened her mouth, the previous cordiality and warmth disappeared.

Yu Mingzhi was embarrassed: "Daddy's matter, how can my daughter interfere ......"

Old Madam Guo frowned, tried her best to endure the disgust, and said, "If the king has done something wrong, there will be courtiers to admonish." You and Qin Sheren are husband and wife. What inappropriate words and deeds does the emperor have today? Won't the Qin Sheren persuade a few words? ”

Speaking of this, Yu Mingzhi remembered the strange feeling that had been buried in his heart all along.

Not to mention exhortation, it's simply indulgence.

Yu Mingzhi closed his eyes and didn't think about it yet. Qin Ji must have his reasons for doing this.

She said: "We never talk about the affairs of the government. And he compares our father and daughter to kings and ministers. It's not good for outsiders to hear about it. Old lady. Please be careful what you say and do. ”

Mrs. Guo choked.

Yu Mingzhi got up, and his attitude became more alienated, "Qin Sheren said that he still has something to go to the yamen today. We couldn't stay at home for too long, so we had a brief meal and had to go back...... As for Dad's affairs, I think he has his own measure, right? There is also the matter of finding a doctor, I will mention it to him when I see Qin Sheren in a while. ”

Old Madam Guo opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

Yu Mingzhi smiled and said, "Relatives should wait for us in a hurry, the old lady is about to enter the table, right?" ”

Mrs. Guo was immediately angry, and after spending so long talking, Guo Baozhi didn't listen to a word!

Is she still a grandmother? And did you take your suffering mother to heart?

Those rumors in the past have no real evidence at all, could it be that they believed the words of Zeng Linlang and those mothers-in-law?

It's really a girl who doesn't know what to say, how could Qin Sheren fall in love with such a thing?!

"I don't need you to help me!" She opened the door angrily, and the maid hurriedly came over to comfort Shunqi.

Yu Mingzhi still maintained a gentle smile, and followed them to the flower hall not far away. As soon as the relatives saw that Mrs. Qin had finally come, they hurriedly rushed up to speak enthusiastically, and immediately put Mrs. Guo aside.

Before he could say the last two sentences, Zhu'er said that the people of Qin She were leaving.

Yu Mingzhi said a few polite words, glanced at Mrs. Guo, who was sulking, and raised her feet to leave.

Qin Ji waited by the carriage, because he drank wine, his cheeks showed a trace of crimson, and his face was more handsome and charming, attracting the eyes of the girls passing by, until Yu Mingzhi appeared, and saw that his cold face seemed to be blown by the spring breeze, and all the frost melted away at once, and deep tenderness and pampering soaked his eyes.

They were disappointed and hurried away, and it turned out that they already had wives.

Qin Ji helped Yu Mingzhi to sit in the carriage, Jing'er had secretly put the basket into their carriage before, and as long as there was a car, they could go out of the city quietly.

Yu Mingzhi said: "I heard that Guo Chang wants to marry the young lady of the Langzhong family of the Ministry of Rites?" ”

Qin Ji responded: "They have met a few times, and they are very fond of each other, so Guo Chang asked me to talk about it." It just so happened that the ancestral hall Langzhong was also worried that the girl in the family would not be able to get married, although he could not get married until the Yao family died, and he was going to continue the string, but it was much better than staying at home all the time. What's more, to have a son-in-law who is a scholar? Moreover, the young lady's sister-in-law's maiden brother works in the household department, which will also be beneficial to his business in the future. ”

And the cousins and sisters-in-law of these young ladies are also of some use in the criminal department. So he was happy to make the marriage happen.

Yu Mingzhi smiled, "The old lady is dying, so I asked me to find a way to persuade Guo Chang." But...... Why is Yao so sick that he is going to die in just a few days......"

Qin Ji naturally knew the reason. Yao's scheming was deep and vicious, and he continued to stay, not knowing what more vicious things he would do. He had to make sure that Zhizhi was safe, so he was absolutely not allowed to keep her alive. is a more powerful character, he will never be soft when he kills, let alone such a woman.

As for Guo Chang's side, if he wants to marry a virtuous, well-behaved and kind-hearted official lady, isn't it much better than the Yao family, who is always causing trouble?

Therefore, he helped the doctor to add something to Yao's daily decoction and food, and he would die in less than a month.

"Are you reluctant?" Qin Ji said with a smile.

Yu Mingzhi thought of what Yao had done, and he didn't sympathize at all, "How is it possible." However, according to the rules, the loss of a wife is to be observed for a year, and the continuation of the string will not be something that can be done in such a short time, right? ”

Qin Ji said: "The Yao family has always wanted to see the Yao family, so they have been noisy for a long time. Guo Chang will pick an appropriate time and reason to abandon the Yao clan and carry people back to fend for themselves, and the two will have nothing to do with each other from now on. ”

“…… I see. Yu Mingzhi nodded, falling into such a situation can be regarded as evil retribution.

Qin Ji hugged Yu Mingzhi, "Okay, let's not think about these things." Have you eaten enough for lunch? I'll buy that meat bun for you to eat, okay? ”

Yu Mingzhi happily responded: "Okay! ”

Qin Ji asked the coachman to take a detour.

Unexpectedly, the coachman was in a hurry to drive the horse, and when he turned a street corner, he almost collided with a group of people. Although he was the coachman of the Qin family, he had been instructed before, so he didn't make any noise, he said "I'm sorry" first and waited quietly to the side, waiting for the team to pass first.

Qin Ji asked, "What's the stop?" ”

The coachman said softly: "It seems to be the Yue family's people, and I heard that the passers-by said that they were going to the Zhao family to propose marriage." ”

The surnames Yue and Zhao were in one place, and Yu Mingzhi immediately understood which two people it was. She didn't pause in her hand, and continued to pour two cups of herbal tea that were eighty percent full, one of which was handed to Qin Ji.

Qin Ji caught it, drank half a cup and ate a piece of mung bean cake.

Yu Mingzhi said: "When my father came to the capital before, he didn't sing about the food in Beijing, so why don't we buy a few more buns for my father to bring?" ”

"Okay." Qin Ji looked at Yu Mingzhi's face.

She didn't care that Yue Zhaohui was going to marry her at all.

The Yue family's team finally walked over, and the coachman continued to catch the car.

After buying the buns, the carriage left the city and came to an uninhabited forest. Then Qin Ji asked the coachman to unload the horse cover, and he took Yu Mingzhi to ride on the snow and galloped away.

They came to the forest path, walked through the dense bamboo forest, and came to Yu Yanshen's tomb.

Obviously, there are often people who come to take care of the cemetery, there is not a single weed around, and the words on the tombstones are also described, and the words are very clear.

"Father, Mingzhi has come to visit you." She stepped forward with a smile.

Qin Ji stood side by side with her, and when she came back to see Yu Tingshi, she could finally change her words, "Son-in-law to meet my father-in-law." ”

Yu Mingzhi and Qin Ji put the incense, candles, paper money and offerings one by one, and occasionally touched one place with their hands, and couldn't help but smile at each other. At their father's grave, they made no secret of their affection, that is, they wanted their father to know - this marriage was very good, and they were also very affectionate. (To be continued.) )
